He pitched in relief eight times for the Brooklyn Dodgers, seven of them in 1949, and the final time the following season. Previously he played for Elizabethon, Mobile, St. Paul, Montreal. He also played for Ft. Worth, Knoxville, and Birmingham, along with some time playing ball in Cuba.

He was a local man, attending and playing for the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for a few season. In 1954 he was a player-manager for the Smokies, pitching in 11 games, ending up with a 2-1 record that season.

Tony, thanks. No, the SABR BioProject doesn't yet have a biography of him. Our local SABR chapter has kicked around the idea. It just hasn't been written yet. We have notes, articles, stories and other bits. We just need to do it.

Mark, do you have any photos (team or individual) of the 1948 Knoxville Smokies when future Hall-of-Fame knuckleballer Hoyt Wilhelm played for them? Wilhelm was 13-9 and had a 3.62 ERA that season, but I can't find even a team photo of the Smokies from that season.
